...and, more of a device than a quote: (not on my original list, diane) statement. Question? Repetition. Like: Common sense. Common sense? Common sense! Yes darkbeer, that's it, exactly!! The whole way of daily talking is so affected by the ML way, just like what you said. Or - simpling starting a conversation with So...? - So... It's become so normal that you don't even notice you use all these devices! Sorry for interrupting the flow.

Great job everyone! The lists made me grin to no end. I didn't participate because really, there's only one ML phrase that I regularly use, and one does not a list make. LOL Anyway, the only go-to quote I have is "I think it would be very relaxing." - David to Walter in MHGM. My husband and I both use this one, and have over the years perfected the David delivery. Never fails to make us laugh.

Ok...here's mine.
I am squeezing this in between sleep and work, so I will post the results this afternoon!

1. "Mediocre minds think alike."
2. "The plot thinnens."
3. "Right on the money, honey."
4. "In a gadda da vida, you are so serious."
5. "If I'd known being good didn't matter, I would have stayed up later, slept around more."
6. "You just couldn't let it be nice, could you?"
7. "You underestimate yourself."
8. "Lady gets in trouble, it's nice to have somebody to call."
9. "Brutal honesty and lack of tact....I like that in my failed relationships."
10. "Not a word, not a syllable."
11. "I bet you didn't even clap your hands to save Tinkerbell."
12. "So don't do it."
13. "Do bears bear, do bees be?
14. "It's entirely possible that I was overserved."
15. "looking like an ad for Wally's Wig World."
16. "Seen one guy in his socks, you've seen 'em all, right?"
17. "We've wasted enough time on this mildly interesting development."
18. "We solved a mystery."
19. "Oh my badness".
20. "You're gonna need a bigger gun."

Just want to say that your latest Bruce pic avatar is just soooooo him - love it :-) xxxx I do love that one.....and decided maybe we could use a change. That was at a party in Las Vegas. I forget who I cropped out of the corner of it, though! ;D Sorry for the off-topic convo. Maybe I should throw in a quote. How about....."There I am all right!"

Now, hopefully, you have read all the way through this to get to the results of the contest.
The answer to the question was NOT ONE QUOTE WAS FOUND ON EVERYONE'S LIST!!!!
Am I the only one surprised by that? I just love that we had fun with this, and that we listed so many great great quotes......The closest to being on everyone's list was "Do bears bear, do bees be?" which was found on 7 lists.
So, by process of elimination......Finefine good good is the winner of the contest....she selected one, so she was closest to the truth!!!
Kim, I will PM you with a few ML related prizes that you can choose from!
Thanks again for playing all you "essed" people!
